Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease accounts for ∼5% of all cases of CRC. Although it only accounts for a fraction of CRC cases, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related CRC is a serious consequence of chronic inflammation that needs attention. There is a better understanding today about the pathogenesis contributing to IBD-CRC and the role of genetics and gut microbiota. Guidelines recommend timely screening and surveillance of UC and Crohn's patients, and it is usually timed from the initial diagnosis. This helps with early detection of dysplasia and CRC in this subset of patients, thus allowing for earlier intervention. However, dysplasia is not always easy to discern and management of CRC in each patient may differ. A multidisciplinary approach should be adopted in managing CRC in IBD. Although the oncologic principles of managing sporadic CRC and IBD-CRC are the same, surgical resection should be tailored to each patient.
期刊介绍:
Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery is a review journal that publishes topic-specific issues on diseases of the small bowel, colon, rectum, and anus.
Designed for clinicians, researchers, and educators involved with diseases of the intestinal tract, the journal covers a broad spectrum of basic information, controversial clinical issues, and established and innovative diagnostic techniques.
Issue topics comprehensively cover the entire specialty over a 3-4 year period, allowing the articles to serve as study material for educational programs and certifying examinations. The inclusion of research and clinical material also allows physicians to remain knowledgeable of current advances in the specialty.
